Some brought up concerns they had with the ordinance, namely that it would take business from Craig and divert it to Steamboat Springs.

“I would like to see this tabled for now,” said Jason Warf, who represented the only medical marijuana dispensary in Craig. “If you opt in and allow just the one business, you will get kickbacks from the state and sales tax.”

The ordinance will get its first reading at the next City Council meeting Aug. 13.

The ordinance has simply been "introduced" thus far, perhaps we can influence the voting outcome with a tray of brownies at their next meeting.
Their ordinance isn't going to stop the sale it's simply going to prevent them from taxing it.
